I am planning on installing a pellet stove insert into an existing zero clearance fireplace in my home. There is presently no hearth. I wanted to construct a tile hearth using a Hardibacker Board. The manufacturer specifies an R rating of no less than 30 for the hearth. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can acheive an R rating of 30 for this hearth.

Post this in the appropriate folder!
*Thanks Conway. And what folder might that be? By the way I'm a big fan.

Andy,
The "right" folder would be the "Energy: Heating, Insulating, & Venting a House" folder. I guess it is possible that the people most qualified to answer your question would be more likely to see it in that folder. Feel free to post it again in that folder.
The other big difference between "there" and "here" is that "here" it will get archived a
i lot
quicker.
